Re: G4 450mhz dual
The original HD is probably slower than a newer one; that’s why switching would make the system faster. He mentioned the real capacity, or let’s say he used real GB, not GiB; that’s how 30 GB became 27 and 160 GB became 150. In the other thread: I goofed about partitioning making bigger- than-128 GB drives work; fortunately the others corrected me. I think when you install the OS on the (internal) 160 GB, it will see only a 128 GB drive; on formatting, you can choose to install Sys 9 support; if you don’t, you’ll still be able to use Classic. It may be best to put the 160 GB in the place where the 30GB is now, but I would also keep the 30 GB inside, at least initially, just for convenience. You know the screw that holds the drive cage down to the bottom plate? It’s under the cables; loosen that and you can tilt the whole drive assembly and slide it out. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I typically partition my 160 GB drives into four below-the-line partitions and one 25 GB above-the-line partition. Whether GB or GiB or whatever, the limit is 131,072 megabytes, period. In the older initializers, the space was allocated in megabytes, in the current initializers, the space is allocated in gigabytes and tenths and hundredths of gigabytes. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

G4 450mhz dual
CS3 has to be on the startup partition; I don’t know about Final Cut. Why not partition that 150GB drive, e.g. in 60+90, and install the system on the 60? That will most likely speed up your computer as well. If 90GB for rendering is not enough, think about replacing the 30GB internal drive by another 150GB, or bigger -- they’re not expensive anymore, and you’ll earn it back quickly by saving time! -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: G4 450mhz dual
Why would partitioning and installing the system on the 60GB partition speed up the compute?

Re: G4 450mhz dual
150GB drives do not exist. I think his original post referring to one had 5s where there should have been 2s where he referenced drive sizes.

At the time 160 GB drives were quite popular, 300 and 400 GB drives also were popular. 500 GB drives and 250 GB drives which were derived from the 500 GB drives were also found. It is certainly possible that 150 GB drives were derived from 300 GB drives, and 200 GB drives were derived from 400 GB drives, by the simple expedient of eliminating platters.
